The International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators

Established in 2006, the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR) comprises independent audit regulators from 52 jurisdictions representing Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Oceania, and Europe. Our mission is to serve the public interest and enhance investor protection by improving audit quality globally.

Working Groups

Member volunteers are dedicated to practical outcomes that will enhance audit quality through their participation in a number of formal Working Groups, Task Forces and Outreach Team that meet regularly throughout the year. IFIAR’s six Working Groups are focused on practical deliverables in the following areas: Engaging with the six largest global audit networks; inspections; enforcement; international cooperation; investors and other stakeholders, and standard setting.

Meetings

Every year, IFIAR convenes a plenary meeting for Member representatives to discuss emerging regulatory issues, challenges facing the audit profession, and strategic approaches to sustainable audit quality. The organization hosts an annual workshop focused on inspection processes and challenges, enhancing insight into Members’ oversight regimes and identifying better practices. IFIAR also holds an annual enforcement workshop with similar goals. Other stakeholder and issues-driven meetings and meetings of the Board take place throughout the year.
